This is something new for me – the Voom Pod Mod!
It is designed to make Disposable Vapes obsolete with pre-filled replaceable pods and the battery is rechargeable!
Is it worth binning your disposables and upgrading to the Voom Pod Mod? That is the question I am aiming to answer!
Voom state that their mission is…
“Remain steadfast in our commitment to navigate cigarette smokers into reducing damaging effects of combustible tobacco through the use of VOOM E-cigarettes. Cultivate a robust environment that helps incorporate the highest technology and supply standards to produce simple yet superior designed products with rich flavors.”
Sadly there is not much info about the brand – even on their own website, but they do also create Disposable Vapes and various pre-filled and refillable pod kits.
What To Expect From The Voom Pod Mod…
Sadly the Voom website is extremely vague about this kit, so I will tell you what I know from the instructions, the Voom Instagram page and the details on the Vape Club website.
This is a pod kit but the pods are not refillable, but they are replaceable.
The pods come pre-filled with 2ml of 20mg Nic Salt e-liquid and 12 flavour options (I will cover them all in the colours description). As you will see the initial kit comes with one flavour pod, but you can always mix and match the pods to different devices.
As these meet the TPD regulations they will be available in TPD regulated areas – including the UK!
You buy the pods in a pack of two and they promise 600 puffs per pod. Once the pod is empty you discard of just the pod, which reduces waste significantly as you retain the battery section.
Inside the main device is a 500mAh battery and this is rechargeable via the USB Port at up to 1A charging rate. It is worth noting that there is no USB cable included, but when you see the price of this kit, it is understandable!
An LED indicator light is provided on the base to display fault conditions. Even for an inexpensive device this still has plenty of user protections which I will cover in the Quick Start Guide section.
Auto Draw activation means this is just as simple as a disposable!
There are 12 Flavour / Colour combos to choose from:
- Blue Kit & Sour Blue Raspberry Pod
- Dark Red Kit & Cherry Ice Pod
- Grey Kit & Sour Apple Pod
- Gunmetal Kit & Cola Lime Pod
- Light Blue Kit & Blueberry Pod

Thank you to Vape Club for sending these over for review! I will report back honestly on my findings with the devices in my possession!
Voom Pod Mod Design and Build Quality
I received this in all the colour / flavour options!
The instructions are OK, but lots of mentions of “Smoking” – which is very wrong when it is a vape! Also they are quite badly translated in places and I still have no idea what the LED indicates – other than fault conditions.
There is no online version of the instructions either.
Inside the compact slim box you get the device, the pod and a matching lanyard. The lanyards are different colours depending on the device colour. Oh and they are a bugger to install! You have to thread the thin bit through 2 holes on the top of the mod, sod that – I did try I promise!
Voom Pod Mod
The main device body is metal – I assume Aluminium or Zinc Alloy with a lovely metallic Anodised finish.
It is basically a thin rectangle with smooth rounded edges almost like a bar of soap.
Both sides are plain but the front has the “Voom” logo etched in with a shiny finish. On the rear is the same logo in a speech bubble with the text “So good” and all the legal logos.
On the base is where you will find the USB Type C port. Next to that is a circular pattern of 6 holes. The LED is located in these holes and they illuminate during and after vaping.
I am not sure if they display battery charge status as you just get multicolour light patterns which are very sweet. See crappy video I tried to record of it below!
